TELLIN' STORIES WITH DEEP MUSIC: YA DIG?

"Electronic music is a secret and complex art: It lives on chaos and paradoxes, clashed histories and dark sides." - Nhar

DARE TO BE DIFFERENT:
“Yes: I am a dreamer. For a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.” 
― Oscar Wilde, The Critic as Artist
“Those who follow the crowd usually get lost in it.” 
― Rick Warren

MY PASSION PROJECT: 
Handpans! Building, teaching, playing I have done it all. 
(On hiatus from IG)

IN A NUTSHELL:
I am a passionate musician/creative artist impacting lives by sharing melodic stories and living my deepest truths. Submerged in creation to bring meaningful connection and change. Been listening to house/electronic music since I was around 9, started hunting seriously for tunes starting at about age 12 and started djing in college. I have worked in music/event production my whole life and have taken on different professional roles behind the scenes of the music industry (and in other sectors) while traveling solo for 15+ years. Have been nerding out on SC since the invite only days.

MY DEEP DIGS SERIES (Previous Long-term series):
https://soundcloud.com/shirinee/sets/deep-digs

Born from the start of a New Year's resolution for friends in response to their request of music from me. I kept it up for me. I practice this artform with great passion. Old or new tracks? it does not matter. It's all relative.

My love ranges from Berlin clubs & dreamy open-air parties, to often Proggy, Deep, Melodic, Minimal, Techno, Tech House, Classic, Breaks/Break Beats, DnB, and underground tracks from the 90's-early 2000s. I often seem to love music that's hard to find and has a fresh sound (this changes and evolves naturally within its relation to the context of my life at the time). I can always dig a gem or two out of a dusty Detroit or Chicago Vinyl Crate. But that's just a taste of what I like to weave together, really, there are no rules. I low-key throw in my own edits/remixes a lot. ;) 

Big Respect to all artists and to ALL of you magical humans from any walk of life out there. I see you, feel you, and hear you deeply. I hope to inspire all my sisters and brothers to use their voice in this world- to not only light up your life, but to be empowered and inspire yourself and others no matter where your art takes you. 
 
I love to play really evocative and visceral choons. Tell a story of where I'm at. An audiodiary, if you will :) Cuz' truth is, I mix some awesome music that no one ever gets to hear  ;)
